First released: 1978
Though not as funny as it could be, there are quite a few laughs in Eric Idle’s sendup of The Beatles story. I thought the original brief sequence from "Rutland Weekend Television" and "Saturday Night Live" in which Idle was really trying to be David Frost was a lot funnier. Overall, it was well done, but you really had to be a hardcore Beatles fan to even “get” some of the references. Some things were so subtly done, as the humor was even lost on me. "Get Back" to "Get Up and Go" anyone? George Harrison makes a cameo as a reporter though you may not recognize him in grey hair and specs.
